Use the sim for your phone and get free internet
- Comment on Is it possible to have privacy in a modern car? 9 months ago:
It has to connect to the internet somehow. Otherwise how could I see where the car is are using the Toyota app? I could see the tire pressure in each tire and the amount of fuel.
There is also this button at the top (the ceiling?) of the car that basically acts like an emergency button. Pressing it connects your car to someone at toyota that calls for roadside assistance. But idk why then even have that since most people have phones anyways.

Some cars have an antenna built in to the car. I mean the antennas that connect to cell towers, not a fm radio antenna.
- Comment on Is it possible to have privacy in a modern car? 9 months ago:
I mean the computerization of the car, especially when it comes to the in car entertainment system that is connected to car’s built in antenna.
www.toyota.com/connected-services/
You could now see your car’s tire pressue, fuel levels, and some even allows starting your car from a phone app. Who knows what “diagnostic data” is being sent back to the car dealer?

My parents new toytota has this feature that allows car’s gps location to be sent for “anti-theft” but that mean the car has an antenna that broadcast the location. Which means it could also activate the microphone inside the car (there is a voice command feature which means it has a microphone) and just listen in on conversations.
Not saying they do that, but the potential of that happening is not really fun to think about.

- Comment on question about (de)federation 9 months ago:
So:
A blocks C
C does not block A
B does not block any
Each instance has a local version, but there is a “True” version, which is located at the instance where the community is hosted. The “True” version gets sent to everyone else
User from instance A post in a community hosted in instance B. First the packet gets processed at instance A, instance A updates it’s local version of the community, the local version than gets sent to the instance where the community is hosted. Instance B received this information. Instance B updates it’s “True” version. Then the “True” version is sent to everyone else. Instance C receives this, and updates its local version. They’ll see any post/comments from instance A.
But if your reverse this, everything would be same except the last part. When Instance A receives any update, the instance first checks where each post/comment comes from. If a post/comment is from an instance in the block list, it is discarded. Therefore, users in instance A do not see those content from instance C. That’s what defederation is, a filter in their end.
Instance A will reject any direct connections to instance C, both inbound and outbound. And instance A also scan any incoming updates from any other instances, and discard any post/comments in the block list. But there is no way for instance A to send content to instance B while not letting instance C see it. Instance B decides who they’ll send it to.

Maybe the person live in a different country 🤷♂️
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
Yea that reminds me. I had some serious chest pains last week that almost felt like a heart attack (I’m under 25 tho so that’s rare) and went to ER. Every test came back normal for some reason. Maybe it was just some weird anxiety issues.
But anyways, the bill just arrived today and it says something $2000 for it, but luckly I’m insured under my mom’s employment’s family insurance plan so we only had to pay around $150 after insurance.
So basically, uninsured people just wouldn’t get medical help because they’ll assume whatever pain they have is a small problem, but it could one day very well be a heart attack.

Covid might be over, but doesn’t stop my existential dread that was caused by it.

Hard to go outside when you have depression from the shit that the world throws at you. People always tell stories about wars, plagues, and, various disasters. But it’s all just stories. Most people don’t experience them, and for those who do, it’s only happebing in a small part of the world. War refugees can go to another country, you can move out of the country to avoid a local plague, and you move out of the way of a hurricane. Sars-Cov-2 (Covid-19) is worldwide, and it’s not in a history textbook. It’s not like there’s anywhere in the world that’s safe to hide. I think many people just have a sort of existential crisis. The world world having an existential crisis at the same time, over a period of a few months to years. The world is so interconnected, every news is about it. I mean, this feels so apocalyptic, like a worldwide apocalypse.
Humans have never, on a global scale, all experience a disaster, at the same time. And being able to tell each other across the world how much people are suffering.
Also, people are (at least where I live) getting violent due to the instability caused by Covid.
All this on top of worldwide Autocrazation in every country, and the seemingly inevitable climate disasters awaiting in the near future.
I don’t think humans are evolved enough to process this.
Also, people might have long-covid which further damages the brain.
People these days are just too depressed.

Yea, you need to check both “Undetermined” and “English” to see most content. You should also check any other language you might want to see.

Try using the web-ui on browser. I’ve been using browser for Lemmy and I never had any issues.

I don’t get it. So the thread had no answers, what does he want to know from the original poster?
- Comment on Any strategies for guessing a passphrase that I am missing one word of? 9 months ago:
Way to much effort. And some cannot be reset like Lemmy accounts without an email attached to them (I kinda don’t wanna bother the admins for password reset). Protonmail password would also be really difficult to reset, because you have to remember the precise date you created the account and a lot of different stuff. Which is more difficult than finding a words in a dictionary.
- Comment on Any strategies for guessing a passphrase that I am missing one word of? 9 months ago:
I doubt they’d do that. That’d just allow anyone to claim to be the rightful owner and get an easy way to brute force.
Might as well send me the hash of the password and let me locally brute force it.
Hmm… maybe I should ask. I doubt they do it tho.

I don’t have paid plans, but even if you did, how does support even help? Isn’t it supposed to be end to end encrypted?
- Comment on Any strategies for guessing a passphrase that I am missing one word of? 9 months ago:
I have unlimited guesses, but have to solve a captcha for each attempt. This is literally captcha hell. By the time I find the password, I’d probably a pro at solving captchas. 🥲

- Comment on Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral? 9 months ago:
Comrade would be cool but unfortunately the term has been associated with Authoritarianism.
Maybe we should start using that term more for non-authoritarian Socialist movements too to erase those negative connotations with those past Authoritarian regimes.
